4 /5 Jason: Grilled pork with broken rice for $17. Hanoi grilled pork with vermicelli. Grilled pork was tasty, juicy and came off the bones with some effort. Rice wasnt too sticky. Shredded pork was mostly bland with a dry texture. Egg was over fried and not runny. Meat loaf was very average. Almost spongy in texture and not much flavour at all. Hanoi grilled used the same grilled pork but in a broth that was both savoury and sweet. There were also meatballs which had some texture to it. Friend ordered this dish so only had a sampling. Restaurant seems to have upgraded its menu since Ive last been here before COVID. Seems to offer solid options for common Vietnamese dishes. Would try beef with tomato rice next. Wouldnt seat near the door in winter. Didnt shut properly and staff had to keep closing it. Might try braised duck and hu tieu Tom this. Saw the dish has the chewy noodles we like.

5 /5 Rodelle Lee: Great value for money! We were craving Vietnamese food but not pho, and this place is always a go-to because of the wide variety of dishes on offer. Portions are huge too. We ordered the crispy noodles and the size was massive. I even took a photo with my hand for scale. We also ordered the broken rice. We usually frequent Than Than Loi, which is the more famous spot around the corner, but this place did not disappoint. The pork here was grilled really well and full of flavour. A simple but underrated standout is the Japanese salt and pepper tofu. The batter is incredibly light and crispy. Overall, a really satisfying meal with excellent value. Clean ambience and toilets, plus friendly service to top it off. Would definitely return!

1 /5 Step By Ambar: Today, December 27, 2026, at 4 PM, my friend and I ate at this restaurant. When we arrived, it seemed that all the restaurant staff were about to have their meal together. That would not have been a problem if there had been a sign from the beginning, at opening time, stating that the restaurant was temporarily closed for staff meals—but there wasn’t. Because of this, they rushed us to place our order, which made us feel very uncomfortable. There was one other customer who arrived and was willing to wait. After the food was served, that customer complained because the food was undercooked. However, the staff’s response was very dismissive and unprofessional. The customer wanted to speak with the male staff member, but I saw him avoid the situation. Meanwhile, the female staff member sighed, had an unfriendly expression, and did not offer any apology. Lastly, when my friend and I finished our meal, there was no “thank you” at all. It was truly a very bad experience with poor attitude from the staff. I will never come back again.

5 /5 Chao tesque: Tried out the grilled pork vermicelli noodle salad which I definitely recommend. The pork was really flavourful and tender and when mixed with the noodles and veges was very refreshing. The pho was decent too. My friend tried the tomato rice and chicken which looked good too.
